    If you've got a special mare, well bred, so hopefully conformation perfect for the purpose, attitude to match , well chosen stallion etc. then your lucky and hopefully you'll end up with a cracking foal. 8 years ago I put my mare into foal, she's Oldenburg, to a Danish Warmblood, the result is fab, won't do it again in a hurry as I know the risks and adore my mare to bits, but yes I have now got another mega mare. Good luck with your plans. I don't feel so guilty being on here with my 5 horses when I read other horsie diaries :)

    Congratulations - hope the birth goes well.

    And congrats on Grape too - hope that all goes well as well.

    Good luck and all the best for 2015 - I have found that you usually find a way to cope.

    Cwtchie - if its any consolation I managed to pay off a huge debt list and hang on to my two horses :D
  • And I'm 60% of the way through paying off £27,000+ with two horses - it can be done :)

    Congratulations on the impending arrivals, trudij!

    Made all my monthly payments ( I think !) and have a few things on ebay to try and make some dents into the debt. will get round to putting it all up in my signature soon, then I will be shamed into doing it properly this time!!

    Happy New Year everyone - good luck for everything you want to do with your horses this year - may we all be successful and happy :)

    **Subscribed** as a fellow horsey person. Good luck with your birth. I'm afraid the only thing that worked for me was what created it in the first place, despite it being the LAST thing on my mind! :)

    No sales or anything changed as yet - no foals, either two or four legged (not that the four legged one is due yet!) Off to investigate Zummi or whatever its called to sell a load of books (hopefully !!) there are loads in the babies room and we dont need them at all - any I can get rid of will be a bonus for the debt busting plan, any they dont want can go to the charity shop :)

    Hope all of you lot are doing well and healthy :)
